The only thing that actually matters is time. Alvin Wang Graylin (汪丛青) is a renowned executive, author, and tech pioneer with over 30 years of experience in AI, XR, and semiconductors. He is currently Global VP at HTC, having served as China President from 2016 to 2023. His book, Our Next Reality, explores the societal impact of AI and XR.

A serial entrepreneur, Graylin founded four venture-backed startups and has invested in over 100. His career spans senior roles at Intel, IBM, and Trend Micro, alongside his leadership in HTC’s ViveX accelerator.

I am very excited to share Alvin’s episode of Your Career, Unscripted - blending his insights on technology, history, psychology, and philosophy. If you want to learn about the future of AI and XR from someone who has not only led technological advances but deeply considers their ethical and societal implications, this is for you.

Alvin shares:

• His unique career journey, shaped by the influence of his artist parents.
• The entrepreneurial drive to create world-changing solutions instead of simply moving money.
• A thought-provoking perspective on Universal Basic Income (UBI) systems.
• Why deep knowledge of psychology, philosophy, history, and ethics is essential in a tech-driven world.
• Practical advice on building stability and staying relevant in an AI-powered future.

For all of his business and tech achievements, what stood out most was his emphasis on critical thinking, meaningful societal impact, and, above all, prioritizing the people and moments that matter.

It’s rare to hear a tech leader focus so deeply on the human side of success—and Alvin’s reflections on time, relationships, and values are refreshing and vital. After reading Our Next Reality, I knew I wanted to learn about his story. I’m honored to share his wisdom and insights with you.
